BRAVES STRIKE ANOTHER SLUMP New York, June 24 <U.R) It j takes the Boston Braves to bear out that old refrain of baseball players. "Heroes one day and' hoboes the next." The Braves have been heroes to their backers many times this season for they have won the majority ot their games against St. Louis, Chicago and Brooklyn, rated as three of the most formidable teams in the National league. But they have been hoboes, too. for when they meet Philadelphia or Cincinnati, it doesn’t seem to be i in the books for them to win. Cincinnati made the Braves look like hoboes yesterday and captur ■ ed both ends of a double header. ■lt might not have been such a ! bitter pill for Boston followers ! except for the fact that the Braves ' had just finished splitting even tn ; a six-game series with the pace setting St. Louis Cardinals. Its only when'the going is the toughest that the Braves are at their best. They did little Uit go through the motions yesterday when thev dropped the first game to the Reds 2 to 0. Red Lucas allowed but three hits while Sherdel wasn't I much of a puzzle for the Reds. But the Reds weren't satisfied | with one victory so they scored i another, this one 8 to 4 in a contest that was called at the end of the sixth inning because of rain. The defeats dropped the Braves to within a half a game of the second division as the other I National league teams were idle, j The double headers scheduled beI tween New York and Chicago and Brooklyn and Pittsburgh and the i single game carded for St. Louis and Philadelphia were rained out. Double headers were the order : of the day in the American league [ and the second place Washington Senators took advantage of the ' twin bills Py gaining a full game lon the pace setting Athletics. The I Senators defeated Detroit twice while the Athletics were dividing a liargain program with the St. Louis 1 Browns to advance to within two and one half games of first place. , Three Detroit pitchers wilted I before Washington's 13-hit attack 1 in the first game as Burke coasted jto a 10-3 decision. The second I game was a hurling duel between i Marberry and Uhle with the veter- ) an Tiger hurler weakening in the i tenth inning, when Washington I scored all of its runs to w in. 4-0. Lefty Grove was sent to the hill by Connie Mack for the first game against the Browns and the star left hander registered his 13th victory in shutting‘out St. Louis. 3-0. Grove allowed only two hits. The Browns came back to win the aftermath. 5 to 4 in 12 innings after the Athletics had come from behind to tie the count at 4-all in the ninth. Schulte's single scored I Storti w ith the deciding tally. Cleveland shut out Boston twice. I 13-0 and 10-0. Brown allowed the . Red Sox only five hits in the first I game while in the second Hudlin 1 permitted but one safe blow. It 1 was Webb's single in the second inning. The Indians had a field day at bat, rapping out 31 hits in the two contests. The New York Yankees came 1 out of their slump and bumped off the Chicago White Sox twice, 8 to 6 and 9 to 4. Babe Ruth hit his 14th home run of the season in the first game which was won Ry a four-run rally in the final inning. The Yankees sewed up the second contest when they scored five runs off Pat Caraway in the fourth inning. Ben Chapman. New Y’ork outfielder, stole three liases to bring his total of thefts this season up to 26. Yesterday's Hero—Willis Hudlin Cleveland pitcher, who allowed only one hit in pitching the Indians to a 10 to 0 triumph over the Boston Red Sox. Webb’s single in the second inning marred a perfect contest for Hudlin, who did not allow a Boston runner to advance beyond first base. o Old Car* Destroyed When pullmun cars become unfit for further service, rather than run any chance of their being utilized in any way whatsoever for trans portatlon purposes, as a safety measure the cars are destroyed. In other words, when the cars reach the point of retirement they are dismantled of all parts that have any salvage value and the remain der of the cars burned or other wise destroyed. Bird* Trave!

- POST AND GATTY SPAN ATLANTIC ! WITHOUT MISHAP I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEt I' the North Atlantic came when ! I they passed over Bangor. Wales. I! 40 minutes before reaching Chest--1 er. Bangor is 50 miles due west j [ of Chester, on the northwest coast i of Wales. They were headed on ‘ a straight course for Berlin. The fliers left here at 2:05 p. m.l after a halt of an hour. They were: cheerful and received the congratulations ot airport attaches smiling- : ly, predicting with quiet’ confidence that their Stout plane W’ould carry them around the world in the amazing time of ten days, which they have set as their goal. Post and Gatty left Harbor Grace. Newfoundland, at 2:27 p. m. EST., yesterday, and flew Qte distance of approximately 2,850 miles to Chest-' er in 16 hours and 33 minutes at j high speed. Their start from New York was: made at 3:56 a. m. EST yesterday.) The flight-to Newfoundland requiring 7 hours and 49 minutes, the elapsed time from New York to Chester was 27 hours and 4 minutes. Post and Gatty looked wonderfully fit. They said they were hardly tired after their flight and their appearance confirmed it.' "We enjoyed the trip, except for three or four hours of rain we en-i countered early in the flight,” Post) said. "After that the weather was . clear and we made good time. “We hope to finish the flight even j in better time than we had expect- j ed.” The flight from Harbor Grace, with favor/ble winds, was made at a fast average of approximately 1601 miles an hour. When the fliers took oft again I they were escorted over Chester | by two service planes. Command-) er A. P. Ellis, in charge of the field; and other pilots wished them good: luck and a successful journey. Post revealed that the fliers were "lost" while approaching lre-| land. “We were surprised to find ourselves off our course,” he said, "but) later discovered we were not, as' far off as we had thought. We did not get our bearings until abcut 200 miles east of Galway. Later we i encountered fog and clouds that , hindered our observations. "Coming down out of the fog we! saw water, which we took to be the Irish Channel, and after skirting the coast of North Wales, we de-' cided to land.”

The youngster was pronounced out of danger after Mr. Crosby cut a gash m the wounded arm and had sucked blood and venom from it. •

Referring to the rain and fog the 1 aviators encountered off the coast I of Ireland, Post said, “it was not | much to worry about.” "I guess we'll get something ; worse than rain and fog before we get through with this little jaunt,” : he added, "Until now it has been ,an easy, uneventful sort of jour- | ney.” After discussing the first phases jof the trip briefly, Post requested : an immediate refueling of the plane I and asked for something to eat. “We want to off again as soon as we can,” he explained to the airdrome officials. While the fliers had lunch, 40 gallons of gasoline was put in the , Winnie Mae. Post and Gatty said they hoped to avoid the rain which was threatening and wanted to reach Moscow tomorrow morning at the latest, i They explained they had lost con- ; siderable time in the fog over Ireland and kept coming down through holes to get "their position, once sighting water and later sighting ■ Chesire, near Birkenhead. The flying distance from Chester

! to Moscow is about 1,650 miles. Post gave the actual flying time across the Atlantic as 16 hours and 55 minutes. While the fliers were lunching Post recounted tl.e trip between niouthfulls. "Strong headwinds w r ere against jus after we reached Ireland. We ■ were not lost but we didn’t quite ) know exactly where we were, so we decided to come down here.” "It was monotonous over the i sea.” Post continued, "but after we sighted land we became excited and thought we were somewhere off southern England. It must have been the fog that put us off. "The machine behaved perfectly and we never had the slightest ap'prehension. It might a mere demonstration flight, the engine ran so smoothly. “After the first couple of hours we saw everything was fine so we ! let her rip and steered as straight as possible for Europe. Here we are. Now we are setting off again hotfoot. If everything goes well, we might carry on to Moscow.” Before starting, tt.ey consulted

the meteorological officer of the field. Both flyers were deaf when they landed, from the noise of the motors. Riot Call Revealed Beer Phoenix.
